Shigatse - Tashihunpo Monastery
Towering above the golden rooftops of the Tashilunpo Monastary is a ridiculously thin white building, perched high enough on the mountain side to be visible from almost anywhere in this town. This is the place for gigantic 40m thangka which is displayed for only 3 days every year, usually on the 15th day of the 5th lunar month.
